Fingers crossed it all goes well. 

Working on something, fingers crossed.

It's easy to point fingers at STR owners and make them out to be the bad guys.  

Less dirty/greasy finger prints too!

Lots of broke folks in their $600k houses working their fingers to the bone.  

Fingers crossed.  

They also know how to manage the tenants during the time in the unit and will effectively document any deductions from security deposits prior to returning them to the former tenant.Keeping rents at market rates – Property management companies have their fingers on the pulse of your market and will make sure your rents are at appropriate levels when they send out renewal notices.

That seems to negate the appreciation but I feel like I'm missing something here and I can't put my finger on it.I am in an area where SFH are 900k-1.2M.

Great deals are becoming more and more scarce on the MLS, at least.I have a strict rental application process, to weed out the bad apples and so far I have not had any evictions or late rents (crossing my fingers).Looking through the MLS there is still deals that offer great returns in the Berwyn marketplace for Buy and Hold investors; However there are grey areas/blocks I would stay from.

I don't have my fingers crossed though as we have heard it before.
